b4nnyLiterally every mechanic about those 3 items listed has an even more extreme parallel in OW lol. At least we know the true solution: if we pay everyone to live in the shadow of a big streamer they'll be willing to forfeit their fun! :o
I'd forfeit my fun to pay the bills. The problem is that tf2 doesn't pay the bills for almost everybody who plays it. So I don't need to forfeit my fun if there's a potential for financial gain a few years down the line once I may have moved on.
b4nnyI've already outlined how these changes do not reduce the fun of the game but instead they can expand it, and I've explicitly described the goal plus provided precedence/evidence that its an attainable one. From the years of playing with you, you've never had a very constructive or progressive mindset; your solution to most things has always been "remove this from the game" even years before anyone expected Valve to be listening. If others have a similarly toxic mentality and are solely motivated by money they should probably just follow your lead and quit now tbh.
Most people know what would ruin the game for them better than you do. I don't want to play with the quick-fix, vita-saw, or solemn vow. Sometimes, I'd rather use the Overdose over the xBow. People know what'd be fun for them, and it's insane to be mad at them for defending something they hold dear to them for a slim chance at dividends that may not be worth it if the game were to change that much.
